This may be a good day to organize your photos and start thinking about putting them into an album or scrapbook. Write a description of who’s who and what’s where to go with the photos.
If you’re up for baking a dessert, here’s an easy and yummy recipe for Pudding Cake:
Preheat oven to 350°F (or 325°F if your baking dish is glass). Put at least a cup of water on to boil.
Beat together:
1/3 cup vegetable oil
2/3 cup sugar or brown sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/3 cup water
Stir together:
1-1/3 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 cup cocoa
Combine both mixtures and stir together. Pour into an 8″ baking dish.
Stir together:
1/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup cocoa
sprinkle evenly over the batter in the baking dish.
Pour 2/3 cup of boiling water on top of the sugar mixture in the baking dish. Bake until the top springs back and the cake is done–around 30 minutes, more or less.
For Fudge Nut Pudding Cake, add 1/2 cup chopped pecans to the baking dish before pouring the batter in.
What to cook with everyday food: How about sandwich spread or dip?
Veggie Spread/Dip: Combine well:
1 block cream cheese (8 oz)
1 clove garlic, mashed (or equivalent in pre-minced garlic)
1/2 cup finely shredded carrot
1/4 cup finely chopped green onion (or chives)
Bean & Cheese Dip/Spread: Combine well and heat in Crock-Pot or on low heat on stovetop:
1 can refried beans (15 oz)
1 cup sour cream
1 cup shredded cheese (Cheddar or Colby/Jack)
1 small can sliced black olives
1 can Ro*Tel, drained
What about gathering flowers and herbs from your yard for potpourri? Almost any flower with a fragrance can be used. Bushes such as rosemary work well, as do herbs such as mint. Needles, small cones, and “leaves” from pine, arborvitae, spruce, juniper, and similar plants can be used. I have used spices such as cinnamon and cloves from the spice cabinet along with dried orange and lemon peel, although that’s more of an autumn potpourri than a spring one. Go sniff the stuff in your yard to get inspired! The clippings you take do have to be dried, either air dried or dried in a low (200°F max) oven, and lightly crushed. You’ll need to add a fixative such as orris root (I have some, but your house may not). If you air-dry the ingredients rather than oven-drying, you may want to store the dried mixture in the freezer for a week or so to be sure you don’t have any unwanted “wildlife” in your potpourri. You can do a web search on “potpourri” for more information and sources of orris root or other fixatives.
